Lol, as being part Native American, I tend to pronounce it kEE-yo-tays.

Anybody remember these stores?

LMAO, love the dumpster fire. If the joke of a league, I mean NHL, decides to finally pull it's head out of it's ass... I think Phoenix needs to finally be sacrificed and burnt at the stake. Why in the hell pro hockey was ever placed in Arizona is beyond my rational thinking... The team needs sold and moved to somewhere where people care i.e. Seattle or Quebec City. If Buttman misses the golf course of PHX so bad then he needs to learn how to either play golf in the rain of Washington. Or... play golf in the frozen land of Quebec.

My 2014 NHL Realignment

THE NHL Revamped, pt. 2 (in stages) 2013 - The league folds 2014 - A new league is formed and inherits the NHL name and all it's history. 21 teams are formed from pre-existing teams. All previous player contracts are in void and an Entry Draft is held where players are drafted and spread out to the new teams (salary cap put in place). All teams are placed into two conferences, East and West with no divisions. Top 8 from each conference go onto Stanley Cup Playoffs and ran just like before. EASTERN CONFERENCE (11) Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Washington Capitals. WESTERN CONFERENCE (10) Calgary Flames, Chicago Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche, Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, Minnesota North Stars (with Dallas Stars gone, Minnesota buys out and re-adopts the North Stars name), San Jose Sharks, St. Louis Blues, Vancouver Canucks, and Winnipeg Jets. 2020 - In 2020, the league decides to expand to 24 teams, with 4 more planned to be awarded by 2025. Cities that apply for expansion in 2020 are: Cincinnati, Ohio Cleveland, Ohio Hamilton, Ontario Kansas City, Missouri Portland, Oregon Quebec City, Quebec Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Seattle, Washingtonn

The NFL, the way it should have been... AFC EAST Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, New York Jets AFC SOUTH Houston Texans, Miami Dolphins, St. Louis Stallions (from Jax), Tennessee Titans AFC NORTH Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, Pittsburgh Steelers AFC WEST Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers NFC EAST Carolina Panthers, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins NFC SOUTH Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFC NORTH Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings NFC WEST Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams (from Stl), San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks

The NEW NHL after Buttman, Fehr, and all the a'holes are ousted by the fans! EASTERN- ATLANTIC Detroit Red Wings, New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington Capitals EASTERN- NORTHEAST Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, Hamilton Tigers, Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, Quebec Nordiques, Toronto Maple Leafs WESTERN- CENTRAL Chicago Blackhawks, Cincinnati Stingers, Houston Aeros, Minnesota North Stars, St. Louis Blues, Winnipeg Jets WESTERN- PACIFIC Calgary Flames, Colorado Avalanche, Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, San Jose Sharks, Seattle Totems, Vancouver Canucks

I really think the NHL needs to go down to just two conferences and that's it. Put each team in either the East or West and be done with it. As for teams going bye-bye everyone could argue that until blue in the face. Ever since Bettman has been in charge a lot of teams have came into the league that shouldn't have been (or moved to places they shouldn't have). The NHL is overpopulated as it is with 30 teams. There really should only be 24 teams at most. Teams like the NY Islanders, Columbus Blue Jackets (I live an hour south of Columbus, but honestly they are a joke), Florida Panthers, Anaheim Ducks, and Phoenix Coyotes have no place in pro hockey. Not saying that because some are in places where it's hot 85 percent of the year/ doesn't really matter Stanley Cup is always played in June when it's hot everywhere. You go to anywhere in Columbus and all you see is scarlet and grey. Heck most sports stores don't even carry Blue Jackets merchandise.... but point being, the NHL should be fixed, sooner than later. Just like baseball, it was better when there were less divisions and better rivalries. Do cities in the "Sun Belt" deserve hockey? Some have proven that they do i.e. Tampa, Raleigh. There shouldn't be two teams in LA, nor should there be three teams in the NYC metro area/send the Islanders packing. As the saying goes we can wish in one hand and crap in the other. But as long as Buttman is in charge just think the most rediculous thing and it will probably happen.
